proliferation risk assessment

Proliferation risk assessment is a process used to evaluate the likelihood that nuclear materials, technology, or knowledge could be misused to develop nuclear weapons. It considers factors like how easily materials could be diverted, the capability of states or groups to produce or obtain nuclear technology, and the effectiveness of security measures. The goal is to identify vulnerabilities and inform policies or safeguards that prevent the spread of nuclear weapons, ensuring that nuclear activities are safe, secure, and intended for peaceful purposes.
